Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide is a selective herbicide for control of important broadleaf and grassy weeds infesting field corn, sweet corn and
|
||||
popcorn. SC 450 Herbicide can be used in corn grown for silage, grain or seed. SC 450 Herbicide can be applied for post-harvest,
|
||||
preplant (surface-applied or incorporated), preemergence, or postemergence uses.
|
||||
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide is effective in controlling triazine resistant populations of weed species which are listed in the “BROADLEAF AND
|
||||
GRASS WEEDS CONTROLLED BY SC 450 HERBICIDE” tables in this label.
|
||||
|
||||
Corn hybrids and certain male pollinators within blended corn varieties vary in their response to SC 450 Herbicide. Not all hybrids or
|
||||
male pollinators within blended corn varieties have been tested for sensitivity to SC 450 Herbicide. You should consult with your seed
|
||||
provider, your local Bayer CropScience representative and/or other knowledgeable agricultural professionals for advice on tolerance of
|
||||
hybrids or varieties containing male pollinator lines before applying SC 450 Herbicide. If the tolerance of a hybrid or variety containing
|
||||
male pollinator lines is not known, you should apply SC 450 Herbicide to a small area to first determine if the hybrid is tolerant prior to
|
||||
spraying large acreages of that hybrid.
|
||||
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide also contains a safener, which greatly reduces or prevents the temporary yellowing or stunting crop response
|
||||
associated with this herbicide chemistry. If symptoms appear, corn quickly outgrows the effect and develops normally.

|
||||
|
||||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying
|
||||
larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable
|
||||
environmental conditions.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||||
x 9ROXPH- Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray
|
||||
volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce dri ft.
|
||||
|
||||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||||
|
||||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||||
Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers’ recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles
|
||||
should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||||
|
||||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.

|
||||
interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||||
|
||||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||||
|
||||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude
|
||||
and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or
|
||||
by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a
|
||||
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates
|
||||
good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||||
|
||||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
|
||||
|
||||
Aerial Applications:
|
||||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
|
||||
height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser drople t size in accordance with the most current version of the
|
||||
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
|
||||
x If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of
|
||||
the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the
|
||||
downwind edge of the field.
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
|
||||
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||||
Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed- wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor
|
||||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||||
|
||||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the
|
||||
ground or crop canopy.
|
||||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser drople t size in accordance with the most current version of the
|
||||
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASAE S572).
|
||||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Herbicide that may be present in the soil depends on soil moisture, soil temp, application rate, elapsed time since application and other
|
||||
environmental factors. When SC 450 Herbicide is used in combination with other products, always follow the most restrictive rot ational
|
||||
crop requirements.
|
||||
The active ingredient, thiencarbazone-methyl is used in multiple products. When determining rotational crop intervals the total
|
||||
application rate of thiencarbazone-methyl from all sources should be included on an equivalent basis to SC 450 Herbicide rates when
|
||||
determining crop rotation intervals from Tables 1 and 2.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||||
For resistance management, please note that SC 450 Herbicide contains a Group 2 herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants
|
||||
naturally resistant to Group 2 herbicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used
|
||||
repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||||
|
||||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||||
x Rotate the use of SC 450 Herbicide or other Group 2 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing
|
||||
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target
|
||||
weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as
|
||||
the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which
|
||||
active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance.
|
||||
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information
|
||||
related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g.,
|
||||
higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological
|
||||
(weed competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible
|
||||
herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species;
|
||||
(3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed
|
||||
production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or
|
||||
tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
|
||||
between fields, and planting clean seed.
|
||||
x If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to
|
||||
another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available.
|
||||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or
|
||||
integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes.
|
||||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
|
||||
You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
Application with water or liquid fertilizer (prior to V- 2 stage ONLY for liquid fertilizer) as a carrier: Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 of
|
||||
the required volume of water or liquid fertilizer prior to the addition of SC 450 Herbicide and begin agitation. Slowly add the proper amount
|
||||
of SC 450 Herbicide, and begin bringing the water or liquid fertilizer to the desired level. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure a uniform
|
||||
spray mixture during application. If SC 450 Herbicide is applied in a tank mixture with other pesticides, add SC 450 Herbicide to the spray
|
||||
tank first and ensure it is thoroughly dispersed before adding other pesticides. If ammonium sulfate (AMS) is the nitrogen fertilizer source,
|
||||
it is preferred that the AMS go into the tank after the SC 450 Herbicide and before other pesticide tank mix partners. If UAN is the nitrogen
|
||||
fertilizer source, it should be added to the tank after other pesticide tank mix partners. Add surfactants to the tank last. Continue to fill
|
||||
the tank with carrier to the desired volume while agitating. CONTINUE AGITATION DURING APPLICATION TO ENSURE A UNIFORM
|
||||
SPRAY MIXTURE.
|
||||
Re-suspending SC Products in Spray Solution: Like other suspension concentrates (SC’s), SC 450 Herbicide will settle if left
|
||||
standing without agitation. If the spray solution is allowed to settle for one hour or more, reagitate the spray solution for a minimum of
|
||||
10 minutes before application.
|
||||
TANK CLEANUP PROCEDURE
|
||||
Sprayer Cleanup: To avoid injury or exposure to non-target crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment, including pumps,
|
||||
nozzles, lines and screens with a good quality tank cleaner, on approved rinse pad or on the field site where an approved crop is to be
|
||||
grown.
|
||||
|
||||
Cleaning Equipment After SC 450 Herbicide Application
|
||||
|
||||
Special attention must be given to cleaning equipment before spraying a crop other than corn. Mix only as much cleaning solution as
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
1. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||||
2. Use a pressure washer with a high quality commercial spray tank cleaner in water to clean the inside of the spray tank.
|
||||
Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface. If a pressure washer is not available, completely
|
||||
fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank
|
||||
and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All
|
||||
visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system.
|
||||
3. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.
|
||||
4. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1-3 in an appropriate manner.
|
||||
5. Repeat steps 2-4.
|
||||
6. Remove nozzles, screens and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above
|
||||
procedures.
|
||||
7. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.
|
||||
8. Cleanup should be conducted on an approved rinse pad or the field site where an approved crop is to be grown.
|
||||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide can be applied in tank mixture with many other pesticides registered for use on approved crops. Refer to “Tank Mix
|
||||
Combination” section for application rates and other restrictions.
|
||||
COMPATIBILITY
|
||||
If SC 450 Herbicide is to be tank mixed with liquid fertilizers or other pesticides, compatibility should be tested prior to mixing. To test for
|
||||
compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 qt) of spray, combining all ingredients in the same ratio as the
|
||||
anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of i ncompatibility
|
||||
usually will appear within 5-15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow all parts of the label of each tank-mix partner.
|
||||

|
||||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
APPLICATION TIMING
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide may be:
|
||||
x Used in either conventional, conservation tillage, or no-till crop management systems.
|
||||
x Applied either preplant, preplant incorporated (less than 2” deep), preemergence or early postemergence for use in corn
|
||||
production.
|
||||
x Applied postemergence to corn.
|
||||
x Used during the period from harvest of preceding crop to 30 days prior to planting of next crop.
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide treatments applied to the soil surface are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall is received within
|
||||
14 days after application. If cultivation is necessary because of soil crusting, soil compaction or weed germination before rain occurs, use
|
||||
shallow tillage such as rotary hoe to lightly incorporate SC 450 Herbicide and make certain corn seeds are below the tilled area. If treated
|
||||
soil is moved during tillage practices in such a way that the herbicide barrier is no longer intact, weeds may emerge from area s where
|
||||
treated soil has been removed. Do not incorporate with a drag harrow after planting.
|
||||
Preplant Surface-Applied: SC 450 Herbicide may be applied up to 21 days before planting corn. SC 450 Herbicide may be applied
|
||||
up to 30 days prior to planting when used in a planned sequential application program such as SC 450 Herbicide followed by Ignite® 280
|
||||
SL, Buctril®, or other post applied herbicides. Refer to the label of the respective sequential partner for specific use directions. Moving
|
||||
treated soil out of the row or moving untreated soil to the surface during planting may result in reduced weed control.
|
||||
Preplant Incorporated: SC 450 Herbicide may be applied up to 21 days before planting corn. SC 450 Herbicide may be applied up to
|
||||
30 days prior to planting when used in a planned sequential application program such as SC 450 Herbicide followed by Ignite ® 280 SL,
|
||||
Buctril®, or other post applied herbicides. Refer to the label of the re spective sequential partner for specific use directions. Apply to the
|
||||
soil and uniformly incorporate in the top two inches of soil before planting using a finishing disc harrow, field cultivator or similar implement
|
||||
capable of providing uniform two inch incorporation. Do not incorporate SC 450 Herbicide deeper than 2” or weed control may be reduced.
|
||||
|
||||
Preplant/Preemergence Burndown: Prior to corn emergence, when weeds are present at the time of treatment, SC 450 Herbicide
|
||||
plus adjuvants (see spray additives section on this label) is recommended for burndown of labeled weeds 6” or less in height. Weed
|
||||
growth ceases within hours after SC 450 Herbicide is applied. Weed death generally occurs within 7 to 14 days after application but is
|
||||
progressively slower as weeds approach the 6-inch height. For preplant and preemergence burndown methylated seed oil (MSO) can
|
||||
be substituted for crop oil concentrate (COC) as an adjuvant. When weeds are greater than 6” in height, faster weed kill is desired, or
|
||||
weeds not controlled by SC 450 Herbicide are present the addition of a burndown herbicide (e.g., Gramoxone® Extra, Glyphosate, or
|
||||
2,4-D) is recommended. Follow directions for use and precautions and restrictions on the label of any tank-mix partner included for the
|
||||
burndown.
|
||||
Preemergence: Apply SC 450 Herbicide during planting (behind the planter after furrow closure) or after planting, but before weeds or
|
||||
crop emerge. Failure to thoroughly close and firm the seed furrow may allow herbicide to directly contact the seed which can cause injury.
|
||||
Early Postemergence: SC 450 Herbicide alone and/or in certain tank mixtures may be applied to corn from spiking through the 2-leaf
|
||||
collar growth stage (9 the first leaf has a rounded tip) at rates as defined in Table 1 under the Specific Uses Directions section of this
|
||||
label.
|
||||
Postemergence:
|
||||
Broadcast: SC 450 Herbicide alone and/or in certain tank mixtures may be applied broadcast to corn from spiking through the 6-leaf
|
||||

used.
|
||||
DO NOT graze livestock, or harvest corn forage or sweet corn ears within 45 days of application of SC 450 Herbicide.
|
||||
|
||||
Post-Harvest: SC 450 Herbicide may be used alone or in combination with other registered herbicides as a fall to early spring-applied
|
||||
ground broadcast application for burn down and residual control of certain winter annual broadleaf and other weeds listed on this label.
|
||||
|
||||
Apply SC 450 Herbicide to unfrozen ground from harvest of preceding crop to 30 days prior to planting of next crop. Apply SC 450
|
||||
Herbicide beginning at the first sign of germination of any of the winter annual broadleaf weeds listed on this label. This application will
|
||||
reduce weed cover before spring planting. A fall application of SC 450 Herbicide is not intended to provide weed control throughout the
|
||||
succeeding cropping period, but is part of a weed management program to remove weed covers that rob residual moisture and
|
||||
nutrients from the soil, slow soil warming, and hamper field preparation for and planting of succeeding crops. Weed control in
|
||||
succeeding crops will require additional applications of residual and/or postemergence herbicides for season-long control.
|
||||
|
||||
Page 11 of 12
|
||||
|
||||
Apply 0.91 to 2.25 fl oz of SC 450 Herbicide plus adjuvants (see spray additives section on this label) for burndown of labeled weeds 6”
|
||||
or less in height. Weed growth ceases within hours after SC 450 Herbicide is applied. Weed death generally occurs within 7 to 14 days
|
||||
after application but is progressively slower as weeds approach the 6-inch height. For post-harvest applications, methylated seed oil
|
||||
(MSO) can be substituted for crop oil concentrate (COC) as an adjuvant. For optimum control, weeds must be in vegetative stages of
|
||||
growth. The length of residual control will increase with the application rate of SC 450 Herbicide.
|
||||
|
||||
If emerged weeds are present and are greater than 6 inches in height or diameter, use 2,4-D or an appropriate alternative
|
||||
postemergence herbicide in the tank mixture.
|
||||
|
||||
Control of established common dandelion requires a tank mixture containing at least 1 pint/acre (4-pound/gallon) of 2,4-D, and/or a
|
||||
tank-mixture with AUTUMN
|
||||
™ Herbicide.
|
||||
|
||||
Field corn, soybean and other crops can only be planted at the intervals specified in the “Rotational Crop Restrictions” section of this
|
||||
label after a post-harvest application of SC 450 Herbicide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
When using SC 450 Herbicide in tank mix combinations, follow the entire label of the most restrictive tank mix partner label.
|
||||
SPRAY ADDITIVES
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide is a suspension concentrate that requires the use of an external adjuvant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to achieve
|
||||
optimum weed control.
|
||||
|
||||
Crop Oil Concentrate
|
||||
Use Crop Oil concentrate (COC) at 1 gallon per 100 gallons of water (1% v/v), with a minimum of 1.25 pt/A. COC should contain at
|
||||
least 80% crop oil and 10% emulsifier or greater. The use of adjuvants such as non-ionic surfactants or refined vegetable oils will result
|
||||
in unacceptable or erratic weed control.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||||
Use 1.5 qt/A of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or 1.5 lb/A minimum (or 8.5 lb per 100 gallons) of a spray-grade
|
||||
ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use UAN under conditions of low relative humidity for greater weed control.
|
||||
|
||||
For tank mixtures with Ignite® 280 SL Herbicide
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide can be tank mixed with Ignite® 280 SL Herbicide. Ignite® 280 SL Herbicide can only be used on corn seed designated
|
||||
as LibertyLink®. Do not use MSO/ESO or COC adjuvants in this mixture, only add AMS at 8.5 lbs/100 gallons (1.5 lb/A minimum).
|
||||
Follow all other directions for adjuvants as listed on the Ignite® 280 SL Herbicide label. Follow the most restrictive directions for use and
|
||||
precautions as defined on both herbicide labels.
|
||||
|
||||
For tank mixtures with Glyphosate (including Roundup and Touchdown branded products)
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide can be tank mixed with glyphosate for use on glyphosate-tolerant corn. SC 450 Herbicide will enhance broadleaf
|
||||
control, combat glyphosate-resistant weeds and reduce glyphosate induced weed shifts. Do not use MSO/ESO or COC adjuvants in
|
||||
this mixture. Add AMS at 8.5 lbs/100 gallons (1.5 lb/A minimum) and any additional surfactant as directed on the Glyphosate label.
|
||||
Follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautions as defined on both herbicide labels.

thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control. Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform applica tion.
|
||||
For emerged weed control in dense weed populations or under adverse growing conditions, 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre is
|
||||
recommended. Good coverage is essential to achieve optimum control of emerged weeds.
|
||||
To minimize spray drift to non-target areas, apply this product using nozzles which deliver a medium or coarser spray droplet as defined
|
||||
by ASAE standard S-572 and as shown in nozzle manufacturer’s catalo gues. Keep the spray boom at the lowest possible spray heigh t
|

above the target surface. Refer to nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for proper nozzle, pressure setting and sprayer speed for
|
||||
optimum product performance and minimal spray drift.
|
||||
Over applications, uneven application, sprayers not properly cali brated, boom overlapping or improper incorporation may decreas e the

BANDED APPLICATION
|
||||
Banding herbicide application equipment must be carefully calibrated to prevent crop exposure to concentrations of SC 450 Herbi cide
|
||||
that exceed the labeled rate for the soil type. It is critical to insure that the calibrated band width equates to actual band width realized in
|
||||
field applications. Bands actually delivered at a width narrower than targeted will concentrate the product and increase the ri sk for crop
|
||||
response.

Calibrate the spray equipment prior to use. Apply SC 450 Herbicide in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per broadcast acre. The use of
|
||||
nozzles and spray pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in the nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance
|
||||
with ASAE Standard S-572 are highly recommended for optimum spray coverage and canopy penetration. DO NOT use raindrop
|
||||
nozzles. Aerial applications of this product should be made at a maximum height of 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a
|
||||
greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
|
||||
evaporation and wind. Aerial applications of this product should also be made with low drift nozzles at a maximum pressure of 40 psi.
|
||||
Uniform, thorough spray coverage is important to achieve consistent weed control.
|

Postemergence Rates
|
||||
x Apply SC 450 Herbicide to emerged weeds at 0.91 fl oz/A per application. Always add appropriate adjuvants to the spray tank (see
|
||||
Spray Additives Section of this label).
|
||||
x Applications of SC 450 Herbicide at rates less than 0.91 fl oz/A postemergence may result in incomplete weed control and
|
||||
reduction in residual activity.
|
||||
x Broadcast applications of SC 450 Herbicide may be made to corn from spiking through the 6- OHDIFROODUVWDJHRIJURZWK9, the
|
||||
first leaf has a rounded tip). 'RQRWDSSO\EURDGFDVWWRFRUQWKDWLVPRUHPDWXUHWKDQWKH9VWDJHRIJURZWK

FROODUVWDJH9RIJURZWK'RQRWDSSO\WRFRUQWKDWLVPRUHPDWXUHWKDQWKH9VWDJHRIJURZWK
|
||||
x Follow all precautions and warnings for using ALS-inhibiting or Sulfonyl urea (SU) herbicides on a particular hybrid/variety.
|
||||
x Best results with SC 450 Herbicide used postemergence are obtained when it is applied to young actively growing weeds. SC 450
|
||||
Herbicide will affect weeds that are larger than the recommended height, however such applications may result in incomplete weed
|
||||
control.
|
||||
x Do not exceed 0.91 fl oz/A of SC 450 Herbicide per postemergence application beyond a 2- OHDIFROODUFRUQVWDJH9.
|
||||
x DO NOT apply more than two postemergence applications of SC 450 Herbicide to a corn crop in one growing season.
|
||||
x Allow at least 14 days between applications of SC 450 Herbicide.
|
||||
x DO NOT graze livestock, or harvest corn forage or sweet corn ears within 45 days of application of SC 450 Herbicide.

TANK-MIX COMBINATIONS
|
||||
SC 450 Herbicide is recommended as the first herbicide applied in an integrated weed control program that includes
|
||||
sequential postemergence herbicide applications.
|
||||
Tank mix combinations may be used and applied at the same timings as SC 450 Herbicide unless otherwise specified in the tank-mi x
|
||||
partner label. Multiple tank mixtures are allowed unless otherwise specified by the respective product labels. Check all tank-m ix product
|
||||
labels for proper rates and compatibilities for multiple tank-mixes.
|
||||
SC 450 MAY BE TANK-MIXED WITH THESE HERBICIDES FOR CONTROL OF CERTAIN BROADLEAF AND GRASS WEEDS IN
|
||||
CORN.
|
||||
Tank-mixes with SC 450 Herbicide are not limited to the tank-mix partners listed on this label. Refer and follow the label of each tank-
|
||||
mix partner used for precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic and other restrictions.
